Narodowe Centrum Nauki prezentuje bazę ogłoszeń o wolnych stanowiskach pracy przy projektach finansowanych przez Centrum. Narodowe Centrum Nauki nie ponosi odpowiedzialności za treść i wiarygodność przesyłanych ofert pracy.
Uprzejmie informujemy o nowych warunkach zatrudniania osób na stanowiska typu post-doc: limit czasu upływającego od uzyskania stopnia doktora dla aplikujących na te stanowiska kobiet może być przedłużony o 1,5 roku za każde urodzone bądź przysposobione dziecko.
The ideal post-doc candidate will have a strong interest in evolutionary biology and microbial eukaryotes (protists). This project involves the isolation and culturing of new protist-bacterial symbioses, their microscopic characterization, and the development of innovative techniques to achieve these goals. Additionally, the project includes genomic and transcriptomic analyses of these new systems. Candidates are not required to have extensive experience in all these research areas. We welcome applicants with expertise in either culturing and microscopy or in bioinformatic analyses and a willingness to learn. Most importantly, we are looking for individuals interested in non-model organisms and evolution of eukaryotes.
1. PhD degree in biology or a similar area obtained not earlier than seven years prior to the employment in the project (note: this does not include periods of maternity or parental leave). We also consider candidates who will soon complete their PhD.
2. Experience in laboratory work and/or sampling;
3. Research experience in cultivation of microorganisms and microscopy and/or bioinformatics and genome analyses;
4. Good writing and oral communication skills in English;
5. Experience in first-author manuscript writing;
6. Scientific independence and team working skills;
- Participation in fieldwork and wet lab research, including the acquisition of material for further research, single-cell picking, establishing cultures, DNA/RNA isolation and sequencing.
- Microscopy (light microscopy, FISH, TEM) and genomic characterization of newly identified organisms and their symbionts.
- Bioinformatic analyses of genomic and transcriptomic data.
- Preparation of publications, presentation of results, supervision of students participating in the project.
- It is expected that the post-doc will travel for project-related meetings and conferences and potential training to other laboratories.
The Institute of Evolutionary Biology invites applications from suitably qualified candidates to apply for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship as part of the Polish National Science Centre Sonata BIS project led by Dr Anna Karnkowska, called “Unravelling the establishment of endosymbiosis: quest for intermediate evolutionary stages among microbial eukaryotes (SYMBIOSTART)”. The successful candidate will join the Genomics and Evolution of Microbial Eukaryotes team.
- Full-time employment for 36 months
- Monthly salary: 8700 PLN per month (gross), plus “13th salary” bonus
- Start Date: 1 November 2024 or later
